No large-scale construction project is done without a well detailed plan. Although it may seem unimportant at first, the pre-construction phase is the building blocks behind your project. It ensures that the plans meet all regulations and your design preferences. Here at CD Construction Group, the leading commercial construction company in Syndey, we understand the importance of the pre-construction phase and how it can impact the success of a project. Depending on the size of the project, the pre-construction phase may take a lot of time, however, is definitely not a phase you would like to skip.
What is pre-construction?
In the initial planning stages of a project, you will work closely with the design and construction company to develop detailed drawings and sketches, budgets and manpower projections before anything official starts. The sketches are pivotal to the design of the building- as it lays down the groundwork. Without a proper sketch, the builders will be clueless, and the end design will look like a mess. The budget is extremely important in preventing you from overspending. It predicts your material costs, and labour costs. Although you will have many varying costs, a budget will help you keep everything in check.
What exactly discussed during the pre-construction?
Every project starts with an aim. During the pre-construction phase, you will define the objective of the project- as in what you are trying to accomplish within a schedule, what requirements you have, and how much space you plan on using. The aim of a project is extremely important, as it ensures that everyone in the project is working towards the same goal. As mentioned, this phase will also discuss the budget- where the construction company will provide you with design and cost information, including alternative costs. Depending on your goal, your cost will vary. Once budget is discussed, the design will then be brought up. You will discuss the overall size of the design, the layout, the style, the quality, the building materials, and the system such as electrical and water. Once the design is finalised, a plan will be created for executing each phase of the construction- creating a schedule for the entire project.
Creating a team
During the pre-construction phase, the commercial construction company will form a team that will be best suited for the job. The commercial construction company will identify potential subcontractors that have the capabilities and capacity to complete work on the project and engage with them to confirm their interest and availability. Everyone in the team has a separate role, that requires their expertise- so having a well formed team is important.
